Do I need to forward my ports for BitCoin/GUIminer?

[Zakcy]

Hello!

I was just wondering if I would have to port forward in order for the transactions to be successful. I'm really afraid of requesting a payout, then not receiving any Bitcoins because of this small problem.

Thanks

The port forwarding is for when you are mining, not for transactions.

Once you request a payout and its sent the transaction is in the blockchain. Just double and triple check that the receiving address is correct.

I don't think it is even needed for some miners.

Just make sure that you can download the blockchain (sync with the network) and that the address is correct (please verify the address because there have been some address changing malware out there)
